Even more pressing, a sick, inflamed, or imbalanced brain can immediately diminish your quality of life. This week, we're joined by a neurologist and author whose work highlights lifestyle interventions that boost brain health.

Listen and learn:

  • What the Default Mode Network is and its role in your brain
  • Factors that contribute to migraine and why management might be the key
  • How mindfulness practices can support long term brain health
  • Simple ways to start improving your brain health today
